The problem is that the path from the west coast to EU is over the pole, where 
signals tend to be greatly absorbed. This is unlike the east coast, which has a 
direct shot to EU.

Perhaps a better solution would be to treat the members of the EU as a single 
entity for multi. This would make the situation quite similar to JA, where 
there are lots of Qs, but just one mult.

Once upon the time, the IARU contest didn't have HQ mults, just zone mults. That meant Europe was only 3 zones, not a zillion countries. Then those in charge decided that having LU's winning IARU was unfair and added the HQ mults, which are just defacto country mults.
